Bar-sur-Loup 2006, mysterious spot in photo

Summary

A UFO case in France where a witness captured an image with an unknown spot. Although he saw nothing with his eyes, while reviewing the photos he noticed something strange. The gendarmerie investigated and ruled out meteorological phenomena, but found a radar trace with three points matching the time of the photo. The investigation suggested a rapid movement of the object, but later considered it could have been a commercial plane. Additionally, it was discovered that there were pigeons in the bell tower causing issues, and several were visible in the photo. It was thought that a pigeon might have passed through the frame, and the blur could be due to wing movement. Although no conclusion is certain, a bird seems more likely than the plane. Either way, the case is considered conventional.
